Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

Well, I had a cap AND a pin. Two of each actually. I had a pin for my LPN and my ADN. My LPN cap was the standard winged cap with yellow and gold strips on the right wing. My ADN cap was the standard winged cap with one black stripe.

I had both a cap and a pin. The cap was one of those traditional cardboard things you see on TV; I tossed that stupid thing the minute after I graduated. I absolutely hated wearing it; it constantly was snatched by curtains and got caught up in IV lines. Some nurses I know cling to that cap; they say they earned it and some even wear the things. I don't need a cap OR a pin to know what I've earned; I see that every time I sign my name and title.
